Too Mean, Greg?

Posted by on October 10 at 17:33 PM

C’mon, Greg. You’re supposed to be one hard-assed, tough-minded, big-city pol—doesn’t a little rough handling come with that territory? And how do you big city mayors with thick skins and ambitious agendas—the kind of mayor you might be when you grow up—deal with yapping, pesty media types like us? By treating us like we don’t matter. By coming in and sitting down for an interview and laughing off our attacks, dismissing our arguments, and predicting that our swipes at Casey Corr are helping, not hurting, your candidate.

A big city mayor does not send in one of his staffers to mewl at us about being “too mean,ā€¯ who then goes on to inform us that the mayor’s sulking right now and can’t come out to play. WTF, Greg? You were supposed to be a brawler not a bawler.
